"Bed and Board is a comedy about marriage, the desire to escape it, and the craftiness involved in running from one’s own desires. Antoine tries to achieve the 'essential' by getting married, only to attempt escape through an affair and then to duck the affair by returning to the marriage. Like a fretful child, he’s drawn to subvert whatever situation he’s in". Writer/directorNoahBaumbach's essay on the FrançoisTruffautfilm. (warning: main link leads to a commercial site)
